Note:
  1. See IBM Storage Protect documentation.
  2. If you are using manual password generation during testing, make sure that the expiration period is set to an appropriate time.
  3. For an initial setup, this password must be the same password that is specified when the node was registered to IBM Storage Protect. The password must be changed first on the IBM Storage Protect server and then on Data Protection for SAP.
  4. ADSMNODE must not be set when PASSWORDACCESS generate is set.
  5. The users SIDadm and sapserviceSID must have read and write permission for the path specified in the PASSWORDDIR option in the IBM Storage Protect client options file.
  6. This step is only necessary if the password is expired (manual-handling only) or must be changed on the IBM Storage Protect server.
  7. A password must be entered for each server statement in the Data Protection for SAP profile.
